Hospital Inpatient Detoxification - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Leicester, MA.

Detoxification is the first step of getting off of alcohol and drugs, and you might make the decision to undergo detox in a hospital inpatient facility for a few reasons. Hospital inpatient detoxification in Leicester provides medical detoxification services, which is conducted with the assistance of nurses and physicians who can make detox more comfortable, using medications to relieve withdrawal symptoms and even make detox safer. A person quitting alcohol for example might benefit from particular medications during the detox process to prevent seizures and tremors that are common with severe alcohol withdrawal. A person who is experiencing heroin or prescription opioid withdrawal may choose to receive medical detox in a hospital inpatient facility, where medications are administered to help them through a very discomforting (but usually not life threatening) type of withdrawal. Patients in a hospital inpatient detox facility stay at the facility until the withdrawal symptoms have diminished. This could be anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks depending on what drug they are detoxing from and their overall physical and mental health.

For a person who has a history with drug and alcohol addiction for some time, there would ideally be an immediate and easy transition from a hospital inpatient detoxification facility to a drug recovery center to treat their addiction because detox is not treatment in itself.
